Sunan Abi Dawud 4559 (Book 41, Hadith 66) #24850
Equality of Teeth and Fingers

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that all teeth and fingers are equal.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: The fingers are equal and the teeth are equal. The front tooth and the molar tooth are equal, this and that are equal. Abu Dawud said: Nadr b. Shumayl transmitted it from Shu'bah to the same effect as mentioned by 'Abd al-Samad. Abu Dawud said: al-Darimi narrated it to me from al-Nadr.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الأَصَابِعُ سَوَاءٌ وَالأَسْنَانُ سَوَاءٌ الثَّنِيَّةُ وَالضِّرْسُ سَوَاءٌ هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ سَوَاءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بِمَعْنَى عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَاهُ الدَّارِمِيُّ عَنِ النَّضْرِ
